Before coming to Humber, we recommend you see your family doctor or nurse to make sure you are in good health for optimum success in your studies at Humber. During this visit, it is important to have your doctor review your immunization and update them where necessary.

Public health guidelines and Humber’s Health Centre strongly recommend the following immunization for all adults:

IMMUNIZATIONS TETANUS-DIPhThERIA: It is recommended you get this shot every 10 years. If you are due for a Tetanus shot, it is suggested you receive Adacel, a vaccine that protects you from tetanus, diphtheria (reparatory tract illness) and Pertussis (whooping cough). The Tetanus shot is available at the Health Centre at a reduced cost of $32.

MEASLES, MUMPS, AND RUbELLA: Shot required after first birthday, plus one booster.

POLIO: Primary series (Five doses during childhood).

MENINGITIS: Routine for students 19 years and under. Highly recommended for all students in residence.

MENACTRA:We suggest all students receive Menactra vaccine. This vaccine is available at the Health Centre at a reduced cost of $120. Your student health plan covers 80 per cent of the cost.

vARICELLA (ChICKEN POx vACCINE):Highly recommended for students who have never had chicken pox. If this illness is contracted by adults it can be quite severe. The vaccine is available at the Health Centre at a reduced cost of $60 per injection. Your student health plan covers 80 per cent of the cost. Two doses of the vaccine are required.

INFLUENZA: Highly recommended as the flu virus spreads rapidly through campuses. The flu is more serious than a cold.
